Today we went sight seeing. We drove around the island – literally! First, after a lovely breakfast we drove for a while until we reached Skye Museum of Island Life, a village of preserved thatched buildings and barns that show how the crofters lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was very interesting as it showed what life was like back then. After that we went to a whisky distillery – Talisker, where we went on a tour that told us how they make it. That was not very interesting for Tara and I but Mum and Dad liked it. Although it was a cloudy, drizzly Scottish summers day the scenery was beautiful! For dinner we went across the road from our hotel to a small Spanish restaurant, that was very nice.
Summer in Scotland.

Tess, I’m really enjoying reading your blog and seeing how your travels are going. I must say, it looks like Scotland doesn’t have much of a summer, though! I’m going to be there in September and I’m already thinking about the warm clothes I’ll need! You’re right, the countryside looks quite stunning. Keep enjoying it all!
